Dodge is rounding out its lineup of muscle cars for 2018 with the widebody 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

As the crossover craze sweeps the U.S., Volkswagen has been cashing in, with the introduction of its first ever three-row crossover Atlas SUV, and now, for 2018, VeeDub is stretching out the Tiguan by every dimension.

We've got a first drive review of the larger Tiguan SUV, along with a look at Ford's new feature to debut in the upcoming 2018 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs, and a look at the widebody SRT Hellcat and more in this Tuesday edition of the Daily Drive-Thru.

If you have a car with advanced safety technology equipped, most likely, you're enjoying a little discount from your insurance company. Ironically, however, vehicles equipped with such technology, according to the IIHS, are more expensive to insure. Because the equipment loaded into such cars is so expensive to replace, more cars than ever are deemed total losses after accidents.

So with more semi-autonomous technology packed into new vehicles, the car insurance industry may cease to exist as we know it. Experts, however, told the Daily News that this won't happen for decades, and there's several factors that go into why.

Redesigned for the 2018 model year, the Volkswagen Tiguan gets taller, longer and wider. What was once a compact crossover competing with the likes of the Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, now gets a standard third row to compete with larger crossovers.

Daily News Autos contributor Ron Sessions got to take the wheel of the new and improved Tiguan to find out if the crossover grew into its own, or bit off more than it could chew.

With larger dimensions, the Tiguan loses some power, but gains comfort, technology and improved driving performance, making it an affordable alternative to more pricey German offerings.

Ford Pro Trailer Backup Assist system debuts in 2018 Expedition

Ford's Pro Trailer Backup Assist system for the F-Series has been adapted to fit the 2018 Ford Expedition.

Backing up to a trailer is skill that takes years to perfect, and Ford wants to make it easier for Expedition and Navigator owners to maneuver their vehicle thanks to the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system.

Originally debuting in the 2016 Ford F-Series pickup truck, Pro Trailer Backup Assist uses a rear camera and sensors to locate the trailer tongue in relation to the vehicle. Via a knob on the dash, drivers can navigate where they want the vehicle to end up, and then, the car backs itself up to the trailer easily, saving you the headache of having to carefully navigate the massive SUV or truck.
